Inclusive Recreation

The Department of Recreational Sports' mission is to offer experiences that enrich the lives of University of Florida students through excellence in facilities, fitness, sport, adventure and play. RecSports strives to be inclusive and provide a variety of accommodations for equal access to our programs and facilities.

One of our values is to enhance the quality of life of our members through participation. We encourage students of all abilities to develop life-long healthy lifestyles.

RecSports is able to facilitate many accommodations throughout the facility and are committed to providing an inclusive experience for all students. Please submit an Accommodation Request form prior to your arrival so that we may best serve you. In order to constantly improve your RecSports experience, we appreciate any comments or suggestions you may have.
